Took advantage of a light start to winter with a group of 7 up the standard route from Winfield. Typically the winter maintenance on the road ends 8 mile below this point, so what is normally a 26 mile winter hike was only 10. Can't complain about that! Some new snow might change the ability to drive the road soon, recommend 4WD due to snowpack/icy spots.

I am from the mid-west and Huron was my first climb and first time ever in Colorado. I was completely unprepared for the wind, cold, and altitude. I'm sad to say I turned back just below the false summit.
